Was Bear Bryant overrated?

Bear won a lot of games but was abysmal in Bowl Games. 15-12-2. Once went 8 straight bowls at Alabama without winning. 7 losses and a tie. Lost several more national titles because of his bowl record. Might be time to lower the Bear's legend a notch or two.

So do you know how bowl games were treated prior to the 70's

Before the 1974 season, National Championships were awarded before the bowl games were played. So...most didn't matter.

He also cheated his arse off and played by a different set of rules than everyone else with bullshite scholarship schemes. Don’t tell Bama fans though.

overrated? Legend, hall of fame and I bet most coaches would love to know half the things he knew about playing football.

6 national titles, 14 SEC titles, and 323 total wins says no, he was not overrated.

Buying players and having more of them on Track and Golf scholarships than everyone else? Yeah he was a genius.

Go look at his 38 years at Kentucky and Texas A&M along with Alabama and get back to us.

Reminds me of young people who say The Beatles weren’t that good. If is wasn’t for The Beatles the music world would be
Very different. Bear Bryant helped make college football what it is today. He may have been underrated!
